It is the second week I have been back at work this year…although
I was ill for most of last week, which put a bit of a damper on my New Year’s
resolutions. None the less, it is a new week, and I am feeling positive about my
goals.
I thought long and hard about what I wanted to achieve this
year and about what resolutions were worth attempting again, and I came up with
a really long list.
I listed big things, little things, things that were
ambiguous, as well as things that were very specific. I have been carrying my
list around with me, and adding things as I go along.
I have managed to summarise this list into a few main goals,
which I believe cover most of the little goals, as well as having a list of goals
that complement each other.
Worry Less
For as long as I can remember I have been a worrier – and although I am
well aware that absolutely no good comes from worrying, I do it anyway. This
year I am going to make a concerted effort to worry less.
Part of this is also resolving various issues which cause me worry.
Do More of What I Love
This is one of my ambiguous
goals for 2015, but within it, falls many specific goals.
Create, art, travel,
learn, laugh, write, read, blog, exercise…
Be Kind to My Body
Besides doing more
exercise, I am going to try and commit to much healthier eating habits.
This is not to say I
won't enjoy the good things in life, but I think that I need to find the
balance between things that are good for me, and those that I enjoy, which are
less healthy.
A big part of being
kind to my body giving up smoking…again.
Because this is such a
tough one, I have given myself until my birthday (August) to quit completely –
But I am trying my best to stop before then.
Learn to Love Myself
“You need to love
yourself…”
I have heard this phrase
a lot, but until recently, I have never fully grasped it… In fact I am not sure
if I even really do.
I hope to explore and understand
this concept more this year – and hopefully in the process, learn to love
myself.
Declutter My Life
I am quite easily
overwhelmed, and a very big contributor to this feeling is clutter.
Too many plans, too
much to do, an untidy space, an untidy mind…
I plan to get organized,
to clear my mind, to say no.
I am happy to say that
despite my setback last week, I am quite pleased with my progress so far.
Here’s hoping I can
stay positive, and make progress with all of my resolutions.
Wish me luck xx
